To kick off the evening, come and enjoy a picnic, for the first time, in the Renaissance Gardens around a large table. (From approximately 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.). You'll be accompanied by a musical ambiance with a concert by the band Joe Sings (jazzy, soul, and lounge pop music). An enchanting setting for a memorable meal. A tasting of rose-based products will be offered in the early evening to give you the warmest welcome. A food truck and cocktail truck will be available on site to supply you with food and drinks, including cocktails.

Starting at 8 p.m., the château will be open to the public for a candlelit tour, discovering an olfactory trail in the form of a treasure hunt. From room to room, your nose will be stimulated for this sensory journey through the château's nocturnal ambiance, where candles and subdued lighting await you. The château will remain open until approximately 10 p.m. To conclude the evening, three small floral images will be projected onto the château's façade to celebrate the Rose Route (starting at nightfall).

Throughout your evening, the Renaissance gardens will be open until nightfall.

On Sunday, June 8th, equipped with binoculars, you'll become true little explorers in search of the castle's swallows!

You'll be accompanied by a member of the Loiret Bird Protection League (LPO). It's up to you to count the nests and the swallows present at the castle. Be careful, you need to be a good observer so you don't miss any nests during your exploration of the grounds.

Swallows return to the castle every year to nest on our facades from April/May to September/October. This is a great place to conserve this species in optimal conditions. Our park also shelters other animals, such as 68 species of birds, both forest and aquatic animals: fish, ducks, and more.
